Do I need to remove my factory fenders to install these?

No. These are over fenders that layer on top of your existing panels. They bolt directly to factory mounting points, so you keep your OEM fenders intact underneath.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with your chosen grit before applying basecoat and clearcoat. Check for any surface imperfections or mold lines during prep — standard FRP finishing practice.

Will these fit over wider wheels without rubbing?

Over fenders are designed to accommodate mild wheel and suspension upgrades, but tire and wheel fitment depends on your exact setup. Verify your wheel offset and tire diameter against the fender profile before installation to ensure adequate clearance.
